Some includes are missing - update with fixes and new features coming soon

stdtom

A collection of useful functions, some with common use cases, but many have especially obscure use cases.

An attempt at cross platform support was made with C and C++ versions, but it is mostly untested (some testing was done on Linux, but not fully tested).

Language Support

Currently supported languages: C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++

More languages may be added, but only as needed by me.

Functions

Family Name	Description	Theoretical Universal Support
select_bit_range_from_word	Selects a rang of bits from a WORD.	YES
hex_to_decimal	Converts a hex string to an integer.	YES
strtonum	Converts a string to a number.	YES
string_with_format	Makes a string according to a format.	YES
strapp	Appends one string to another.	YES
str_append_char	Appends a character to a string.	YES
strtrim	Trims a string to just the exact size it needs.	YES
zero_str	Zero's out every byte of a string.	YES
str_is_0d	Checks if a string has been zero'd.	YES
str_from_file_contents	Makes a string from the contents of a file.	YES
path_from_handle	Gets the path to the executable relate to a handle to the executable.	NO - Apple Exclusive
path_to_current_executable	Gets the path to whatever executable calls to function.	YES
getarg	Gets the value that follows an argument (like getopt, but reasonable).	YES
arg_is_present	Checks if an argument is present.	YES
set_lprefix	Sets the prefix used by the print/log function.	YES
lprintf	Prints to the console, with a user-define prefix added first.	YES
setLogPrefix	Sets the prefix used by the print/log function.	NO - Apple Exclusive
TMLog	Prints to the console, with a user-define prefix added first.	NO - Apple Exclusive
va_haxx / pass_array_contents_to_variadic_function	Passes all elements of an array as individual arguments to a variadic function	YES - x86_64 Exclusive (for now!)

Overloads for all possible string types are provided as reasonable. If there's not an overload, then it's likely because there's some support for the operation to that type already.

I'm aware there's some projects that bring Objective-C to Linux (and possibly Windows) - so some of the "Apple Exclusives" may actually have wider support.

Type Definitions

Name	Description	Theoretical Universal Support
BYTE	An unsigned 8-bit value	YES
WORD	An unsigned 16-bit value	YES
DWORD	An unsigned 32-bit value	YES
QWORD	An unsigned 64-bit value	YES

Special Definitions

Family Name	Description	Theoretical Universal Support
NOTUSED()	Silences compiler complaints about unused variables	YES

There are some commented out debug functions that build on lprintf.
I haven't decided If these are actually worth having yet, and thus remain commented out.
